Arati kadav wanted the tech in Cargo to be endearing instead of being intimidating. She talked to us about her nostalgia for analog and retro sci fi, the particular joys of its inherent clumsiness . She spoke about staying determinedly passionate about sci fi despite projects being shelved which she only took valiantly in her stride and as a challenge to push herself into that space even more , and also emphasised the importance of the kind of collaborators in filmmaking who also look at their jobs as a growth opportunity and being open to as many creative suggestions as possible. Besides giving peeks into fascinating back stories of the side players, of course , she also talked about how that amazingly infectious Megha Ramaswamy's song Forget Me Not came into being.
